Australian police crack crypto wallet, successfully recover $6 million in criminal assets
ChainCatcher reported that the Australian Federal Police (AFP) successfully cracked a criminal suspect's cryptocurrency wallet and recovered digital assets worth $6 million.
AFP Commissioner Krissy Barrett revealed that a data scientist managed to unlock the wallet by identifying fake numbers that had been manually added to the seed phrase. The analyst discovered that the suspect attempted to set a "crypto trap" by adding numbers at the beginning of the sequence, but the artificial modifications were eventually detected. The same analyst later used a different method to crack another wallet, recovering $1.9 million. These funds will be used for crime prevention measures after a court ruling. This case is part of "Operation Kraken," which has resulted in the arrest of 46 individuals, the execution of 93 search warrants, and the seizure of a large number of illegal weapons and drugs.
